How I First Met Beneve’s Visionary Founder
My connection to Beneve started long before the company even existed. Back in 2012, I began my entrepreneurial journey as an independent rep for a credit restoration company—an opportunity that took off after the 2008 recession. I quickly found success and became a national trainer, traveling the country to teach network marketers how to grow their businesses.
It was during one of those training sessions that I met Judy Willodson and her husband, Mark. They stood out immediately. Judy’s authenticity, passion, and sharp leadership instincts left a lasting impression. Together, she and Mark went on to become two of the most successful distributors in the network marketing world—at one point ranked as high as #17 globally.
Why Judy Created Beneve
Despite their tremendous success, Judy and Mark faced a recurring problem: they couldn’t find a company that truly put distributors first. Most companies they worked with funneled huge portions of sales revenue into bloated executive salaries, often at the expense of the very people doing the real work—distributors.
Eventually, they stepped away from the industry entirely. They didn’t need to keep working. They had a great life, a second home in Puerto Rico, and quality time with their daughter and granddaughter. But Judy couldn’t shake the feeling that the industry needed something better.
So, she built it.
The Launch of Beneve
In July 2023, I got a call from Judy. She had officially launched her own company—Beneve—with a mission to do things differently. She invited me to be the Emcee at their first event in Fort Myers, Florida. I accepted, honored by the opportunity.
That first event had just under 100 attendees, but the vibe was unlike anything I’d seen in this space. They don’t call their team “distributors”—they call them Influencers. Most were professionals in other industries, drawn in by Judy’s vision and their own personal experiences with the products. This didn’t feel like just another business opportunity. It felt like a movement.
A Mission-Driven Wellness Company
Beneve is a wellness company with heart. The products are high-quality, all-natural, and backed by science. The compensation model is fair and generous. And above all, the company is committed to building strong, ethical leadership.
At Beneve’s second major event—this time in Daytona Beach, Florida—the momentum was undeniable. About 300 people attended, and several new products were announced. The unveiling of the Medical Advisory Board brought even more credibility to the brand. These board members, all licensed medical professionals, had not only joined as Beneve Influencers but also spoke enthusiastically about their results with the products.
Real Results, Real People
The event was filled with powerful testimonials—people of all ages talking about their weight loss, energy gains, pain relief, and improved health. The attendees weren’t your typical network marketing crowd. These were mature, thoughtful professionals who genuinely believed in the products because they had experienced the benefits firsthand.
And through it all, Judy’s warmth and leadership were at the center of the movement.
The May 2025 Event: Game-Changing Momentum
On May 1, 2025, I drove to Kissimmee, Florida to Emcee the third major Beneve event, held at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center. That’s where things really clicked for me—both personally and professionally.
Dr. William Pierce, a board-certified surgeon in his 70s, introduced two new products: Build and Surge. He shared his own results using these products along with Beneve Xcelerate, including increased muscle mass, more energy, and weight loss—all without changing his routine. That got my attention. I’m 68 and still active, but like many men over 50 or 60, I welcome any help staying energized and strong.
Extraordinary Income in Just Two Years
What happened next blew me away. That afternoon, I introduced about 30 people who had earned rank advancement bonus checks ranging from $3,000 to nearly $10,000. Then came another two dozen who received checks from $10,000 up to $70,000. And finally, a young woman from Colorado walked on stage to accept her $225,000 bonus check—just two years after joining.
I later spoke with Ken Eggleston, Beneve’s Chief Operating Officer, who confirmed that the company had no debt, no outside investors, and plenty of cash in the bank. Judy and Mark launched Beneve with their own capital—proving again their commitment to building something lasting and distributor-focused.
A Trusted Network of Influencers
During that weekend, I connected with Maria Giambrone, a top Beneve leader who received a $70,000 bonus. Maria is a Master Herbalist, certified in Diagnostic Nutrition, Integrative Nutrition, and Detoxification. She and her husband, Mark, are good friends of mine. Maria offered to personally support me in learning the product line and building my Beneve business the right way.
Why I’m All In on Beneve
One month later, I’m here sharing this story with you on MyVitalityReboot.com and my YouTube channel of the same name. I’ve seen the heart, the leadership, the integrity, and the real results behind Beneve. I know the founders personally. I trust the products. And I believe in this mission.
If you’re a man over 50 looking for more energy, strength, and wellness—or if you’re someone searching for a real opportunity in the health and wellness space—Beneve might just be the answer you’ve been waiting for.
Final Thought
I recently read an article in the N.Y. Post about a man who is 102 years old, Dr. Howard Tucker. He just retired from his medical practice 2 years ago. He says, “Retirement, I think, is the enemy of longevity.” I don't disagree. I have many friends who are retired, and I'm happy for them that, financially, they can do that. But they don't have any real purpose. If you're looking for more vitality and something to give you a purpose, such as helping other older men, this could be something for you. I want to build a community of 'old guys' that aren't done quite yet. Older men who want to increase not only their lifespan, but also their healthspan, how long they live with good health.
